EMILE WEBER, OF BAKER ITY, OREGGN.

Doon-SECURISE.

T o all whom Ait may concern.'

Be it known that I, EMILE `WEBER, a citizen of the United States, rcsidin at Baker City, in the county of Baker and tate of Oregon, have invented new and useful linprovements in Door-Securers, of which the loll/owing is a specification.

This invention relates to door securers, and the object of the invention is to provide a simple locking device which may becarried on a person or in a valise and which is demeans 4for ap'- the invention has once been tion. .f

The device is especially designed for use by travelers or persons engaged in moving from place to place Jfor locking rooms so asto insure safety, and consists of a locking plate having an anchor and beingprovided with threaded edges adapted for the reception of placedl in posian interiorly threaded collar or lock member,

the lock late being adapted to be inserted betweent ie door and the janib, the closing of the door forcing the anchor within the jamb, the collar being provided with diametrically opposite grooves is slid towards the dooi' and the jainb, andwlien adjacent these elements the locking member is turned so that its 1screw threads engage the threads of the locking plate and thus securely retain the door in closed position. i

With these objects in view the invention resides in the novel construction of elements and their arrangement in operative combinar tion,` hereinafter fully described and claimed.

ln the accompanying diawings,-Figure l is a longitudinal sectional view of a door and a door jamb, showing my iinproveinentin applied position. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of my im rovement. Fig. 3 is a sectional view u on t ie line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 isanend e evation of the device.

In the accompanying drawings the numeral l designates a section of an ordinary swing# sing door, and 2 the jainb therefor.

'Thenuineral 3 designates the lock plate of my improved door securing "device c As `illustrated in the figures of the drawings the lockingfplate 3. is constructed of a flattened rectangular member,'having its upper and lower edges provided. with threads 4 and 5.

vided with an anchor,

Patented Juiy 28, i908. v

One end of the locking plate 3 is bent at an angle to provide the anchor element 6. This anchor 6 is provided with a plurality of sharpened teeth, adapted to engage the jamb 2 of the door when the device is in applied position.

The numeral 7 designates the locking member of my device. This memberl 7 ,coinprises a collar having annular milled beads or projections 8, by which the locking member 7 may be easily rotated and slid upon the locking plate. locking late 7 is annular t eads 9 a apted to coperatie with the threads 4 and 5 of the locking plate 3. The collar comprising the locking plate is also provided with longitudinally extending slots or recesses 10,v of a width corres ending The collarcom rising the Q rovided wit i internal I to or slightly greater than the thic ness of the locking late 3. The locking plate is provided wit `a suitable perforation near its end adjacent the anchor 6, and this perforation is ada ted for the reception of-a ring, or other suita le stop 11 by which the locking member 7 is retained upon the locking plate, and by whiehthe device may be suspended from a key ring or the like should it be desired.

The application of my deviceis as follows: The locking late is ositioned adjacent the door jamb 2, aving the anchor member lying .against the ol'iset provided by the jarnb and adapted for the` reception of the door '1 The locking-member 7 is drawn towards the ring 11, the door is swung closed, causing the" teeth of the anchor 6 to become embedded within the jamb 2, the locking ,member 7 'has its longitudinal grooves 10 positioned above the threaded edges 4 and 5-of the'locking plate and is slid forward towards the *door and jamb. When the locking member 7 is adjacent .the door and jamb., the member is Iturned upon the locking plate?, so that itsI threads 9 engage th'e threads 4 and 5'of the plate, and thus force the collar 7 more tightly against thev door and jamb and securely retain the door in closed position. f

Havin thus fully described the invention what is e aimed as new is:

ich

A dooi securing device comprising alflat,

v'tened rectangular plate having4 its edges pro-1 'l .vided with threads and one of its ends pro-` the opposite end being' provided with a ring, and a locking member eomrising an interiorly threaded collar having on itudinally extending diametrieally op ositey disposed channels, whereby the 5 co ar may be slid upon the locking plate 'when the threads of the collar are not engaged with .the threads of the locking plate.
